The xel'naga visited the world in antiquity and left a "stealthy" artifact behind. In turn it was colonized by the protoss though like other worlds, was a site of the Discord. Protoss unwilling to accept the Khala severed their nerve appendages, becoming Dark Templar and when confronted by their breathren, unleashed psionic storms. The protoss had abandoned the planet, though their history was left marked on various rocks in both artistic and written form.[1]

By the 26th century, terran colonists under the Terran Dominion had settled the planet.[2]

In 2503,[3]Lassatar, a dark templar, came to Roxara to search for the artifact. He was unable to pinpoint its location despite having a sensing device. The protoss met Tiffy, a young human female, who thought Lassatar was an angel and would help her crippled father, Kern. Tiffy helped Lassatar locate the artifact. Before leaving with the artifact, the dark templar fought and crippled Nero, a reaper and enemy of Kern.[1]
